Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has once again raised the bar with the unveiling of their latest creations: the ‘Spirit of Expression’ trilogy.
These magnificent commissions — the Ghost Extended, Phantom Extended, and Spectre — represent a pinnacle of luxury and personalisation, blending global inspirations with meticulous design from the Private Office Shanghai.
At the heart of these extraordinary vehicles lies a global creative collaboration. Designers from Rolls-Royce’s renowned Goodwood headquarters in England have joined forces with the Shanghai-based Bespoke team. This synergy has given rise to exterior colorways that pay homage to the flora and scenery of renowned destinations frequented by Rolls-Royce’s esteemed clients from the Greater China region.
Each car in the ‘Spirit of Expression’ series captures a fleeting moment in time, reflecting the essence of its inspiration. Take, for instance, the Phantom Extended ‘Magnetism’. Its two-tone exterior, finished in Cala Luna Sand and Kabira Blue, mirrors the magnetic ambiance of a moonlit beach bay under a starlit sky. The celestial motif continues inside with a stunning Starlight Headliner featuring Galileo Blue and White ‘stars’, complemented by an intricate stainless steel inlay on the rear waterfall and Gallery artwork embroidered with Arctic White thread.
Meanwhile, the Spectre ‘Escapism’ draws its bold color palette from the tropics of South America. The Lantana Red exterior, paired with Tempest Grey accents, evokes the vibrant hues of the Lantana flower, symbolizing luck and celebration. Inside, Selby Grey, Purple Silk, and Sunset leathers create a luxurious atmosphere, enhanced by a bespoke Starlight Headliner adorned with Sunset-colored fiber-optic ‘stars’ and Obsidian Ayous veneers.
Lastly, the Ghost Extended ‘Expressionism’ celebrates Boracay Island’s stunning sunsets with its vivid ‘Boracay Blue’ exterior and Lime Green accents. The interior boasts Black and Arctic White leather seats with Lime Green detailing, accompanied by an elaborate celestial motif embroidered in Lime Green on the door pockets. The Starlight Headliner mirrors the embroidered pattern, featuring Lime Green and White ‘stars’ that cascade elegantly across the ceiling.
These bespoke creations not only exemplify Rolls-Royce’s commitment to craftsmanship but also underscore China’s significance as a key market. The marque’s expansion of the Private Office network, now encompassing hubs in Goodwood, Dubai, and Shanghai with future global launches planned, highlights their dedication to immersive luxury experiences tailored to discerning clients worldwide.
The ‘Spirit of Expression’ series represents more than just automotive innovation; it embodies a profound narrative woven from global inspirations and local insights. Each detail, from the meticulously hand-painted coachlines to the intricate embroidery and personalized configurations, tells a story of elegance and exclusivity.
Rolls-Royce’s ‘Spirit of Expression’ series are exquisite works of art on wheels, meticulously crafted to reflect the diverse inspirations of their global clientele. As Rolls-Royce expands its Private Office network worldwide, these bespoke creations underscore a commitment to personalised luxury experiences tailored to the most discerning tastes. With each car, the journey transcends mere transportation, offering an unparalleled fusion of opulence, innovation, and individuality that defines the essence of Rolls-Royce excellence.
